Ripping CD's

I have many CD's. Would like to copy(rip) my favorite songs from each onto  separate CD's. Create a library on each disc. I know that doing that is illegal if intended for sale but that's not my goal. Just for personal use. Two basic questions.........

1) Is there a certain brand/type of CD media best for music or will any CD  do?

2) What is a good CD burning program (preferably free) to use other than Nero and other generic programs?

Thanks for any suggestions. There are several options with things like streaming but this is my intent now.

I realize there are many options out there and I have access to some of those. But......I didn't want opinions of options. My questions were very basic.

I appreciate all of the answers here. Not very familiar with some of the technology mentioned  by many but I have another question about using the EAC program, which many recommend......

Most of the CD's I want to rip are original ones. But some are stored as MP3's. Some have recommended that, when ripping with EAC, burn them as WAV files vs MP3. Will MP3's converted to WAV's play on my player?

I will have to check my player's specs to see if it can play them. My player...NAD C546BEE. Sure, there are better players out there and I appreciate the input but I want to accomplish this task with my current setup.

Thanks
